Was more than I expected for the price

Pros: This bag is great for my kit. I have an Oly E-620 with the 12-60mm normal zoom, the older 40-150mm f3.5-4.5 tele-zoom, and a Metz 48-AF1 flash. With dividers (see below), this bag holds all of them plus about an inch of width to spare for filters, extra batts, etc. Just right! Quality is fine, on par with other bags in this price range, and it has the keen Olympus logo on the flap. :-) Several internal and external pockets provide adequate storage for small items.

Note: A longer lens won't fit while attached to the camera body. My 2 lenses (which are almost exactly the same physical size), attached to the E-620 body, are the longest lenses that can fit in this bag and allow the flap to close and latch. Any longer, and the strap on the latch would be too short to allow the flap to latch shut.

Cons: Like the other reviewer, I found the velcro hooks on the inside of the inner liner to be annoying. I also turned the liner inside out, but once that's done, then the one divider that came with it (one long strip) doesn't stay in place. Fortunately, I have another bag that came with a plethora of internal dividers I never used. They had the hook velcro on their edges. So I'm using the dividers from that other bag to create compartments inside this bag in a configuration I like.

Another minor nit is that the external latch that holds the flap shut has the female half sewn tightly on the flap, while the male half hangs down from a strap on the bag body. It means they're not 'near' each other when you want to latch the flap shut. You have to reach down under the bag, fish around for the dangling male piece, and then look to see where the female piece is and slide the male piece *up* into it. Every other bag I've ever owned was reversed, with the male piece hanging down from the flap, so that it hangs exactly where it can slide down into the female piece fixed on the bag--a motion easily accomplished by feel without looking at it.

I bought the E-500 with 2 lenses and this bag is great for storing and transporting all the gear. It would be possible to get 1 more lens in the bag also, but not a huge tele lens. The construction appears very rugged and the top flap has sides that fold in to keep small things (like extra batteries) from falling out.

The only con I found is that the padded interior liner has two large velcro strips around the entire interior of the liner. I did'nt want that to scratch the lcd display at the back of the body, so I turned the liner inside out so the velcro is on the outside. Its working perfect for me now. For what you spend on the camera and lenses, you need an affordable bag like this to carry it around.
